Quickbooks Accounting Questions?

Quickbooks Accounting Questions?
First we are a company that does contract work for customers. We do contracts with our customers; we invoice the customer for the approval purchase contract order amount once the job is complete. Every contract is the base amount that includes supplies and materials and labor in the cost. I am instructed to set up an asset and A/P liablity account for each customer. Understanding that this is correct, am I to set up customer under "other asset" amd the A/P customer account under "other liability"?? I want to be sure to set up the initial accounts properly, so I may track all supplies, materials and labor to that job - that way in the end I can track the profit/loss for each job.

I deal with A/P and A/R and currently I track every invoice manually and record everything into the cost book which includes each customer.

I want this to be a smooth transition. The material I have just does not cover this type of question. Your expertise is greatly appreciated!
